The Bell Jar details the life of Esther Greenwood, a college student who dreams of becoming a poet. She is selected for a month-long summer internship as a...
As Esther's magazine internship draws to an end, she becomes more and more emotional. Esther and Hilda discuss the impending death of the Rosenbergs. Hilda's response, "I'm so glad they're going to die," echoes with Esther. Then Esther bursts into tears while having her photograph taken for the magazine. She fantasizes about sending Jay Cee some anonymous manuscripts from the summer writing course she will take when she gets home.
The night before Esther is due to return home, she abandons the task of packing and accompanies Doreen to a dance at a country club, where she meets a Peruvian man named Marco. Marco wears a diamond stickpin in his tie. When he hands it to Esther, she slips it into her evening bag. Marco ominously says he will perform "some small service" to earn it back.
Esther gets very drunk at the dance. Marco takes her outside and tries to rape her, but she fights him off, giving him a bloody nose. Marco smears his blood onto each of Esther's cheeks. She leaves him scrabbling in the dark, trying to find her evening bag with his diamond pin, and gets a ride back to the city. In her hotel room, she decides not to pack; instead, she balls up her clothes and throws them off the top of the hotel sunroof.
